- Landing Page Hero: dial in a two-stop linear gradient at a 135 degree angle and paste the CSS straight into a section background.
- Design System Tokens: build several gradients with matching stop positions to store as reusable background variables.
- Loading Indicators: create a conic gradient to drive a circular progress or spinner effect.
- Card Overlays: add a mid stop that holds a colour longer so text stays readable over the lighter end of the gradient.
